Jay Williams comment about Morris

[clonedlion]

Anyone else hear him say that Morris should win the Cousy award? I guess nobody told him he got left off. I think that says a lot about how bogus the selection of these awards are. He didn't know the top 5 ad still put Morris at the top.

Also think there should be some Morris for POY talk as well.

 

[isufbcurt]

I heard it too.

Who the hell is Bob Cousy anyway?

 

[NetflixAndClone]

I caught that too. I almost thought he meant that he should win it anyway.

Start a Monte Morris award for the best actual college point guard next year. The Cousy award can stay as an award for highest scoring point guard on a top 5 ranked team.

 

[Clonefan94]

He shouldn't just have won it, it should be renamed the Monte Morris award.

 

[clone4sure]

How in the world could you leave Monte Morris out of the Cousy award. not one of the other candidates even come close to his body of work as a player. sad !

Here are the five finalists for the 2017 Bob Cousy Award:

• Nigel Williams-Goss, Gonzaga
• Frank Mason, Kansas
• Joel Berry II, North Carolina
• Lonzo Ball, UCLA
• Jalen Brunson, Villanova

Lot of blue there.

Write-in campaign!

I love it. The more it goes on the more that award is looking like a joke.

I would rather win the National Championship for Monte so that he can shove it in everybody's faces, than for my own fandom.

Mason is a different type of player but worthy. Ball is incredible as a scorer or facilitator.

The other 3 are a GIGANTIC joke to be on a list of point guards over Monte this year. NWG's #s are all worse than Monte's playing against scrub teams for 2/3s of the season. Evans from OK State is better than those 3 as well, like Ball as a scorer or facilitator he's better.

If you're just talking true point guard skills, Monte is #1. There's zero doubt. No question. Nobody else is even in the discussion.

Only logical reason I can think of is that they didn't want more than 1 from the same conference. Either way, what a joke. Losing Monte will hurt more than losing Niang imo

Just wait until the first time we have a 15+ turnover game.

At this point, Monte is getting all kinds of recognition for not getting recognition (and he deserves every bit of it).

Can someone remind me who won COY again? Because I think there should be another vote...

Invented the beer can thing to keep 'em cold. Brilliant!

So true. This isn't the "Best Guard" award. If that was the case, Monte probably wouldn't make the top ten. But if Monte isn't the National PG of the year, than what on earth is a point guard for?

Uh, I would say Jalen Brunson is on ANY list of top 5 point guards. But so is Monte. You may have a heavy Big 12 bias.
